2010 E90 Pricing

NomadM3 · 05-25-2012, 09:14 AM

Hey guys....been following this forum for months and am about to pull the trigger on a 2010 White E90 M3. Wanted to get everyones opinion on the price

Details:
41,500 Miles
Clean Carfax
Fox Red Interior
6spd Manual
Premium Package
Tech Package
19" double spoke rims

asking price is 45,800

is this a good deal? I know the mileage is a bit high for a 2010, but the car is in excellent condition and still has a year of warranty left.

Thoughts?

For a 2010, that's actually a really good price! Check out the Used M3 pricing thread for comparison.

SamS · 05-25-2012, 09:53 AM

Good price, but that's a LOT of miles for a 2010.

Lots of miles is good. I'd rather have a car that is well driven as opposed to a garage queen with little miles.

Who said the miles were well-driven?

You can't dispute the fact that mechanical parts wear out with more miles. Bushings, shocks, etc.

Find out what sticker was new and use KBB.com to find out if it's a good deal now. When I was looking, prices varies due to options as you can have almost $20k in options. Good Luck

rdollie · 05-25-2012, 05:56 PM

Good advice here. There's quite a few options that may be missing based on the brief description. Otherwise, unless you can find evidence of this car being abused I wouldn't worry about the miles. I would find out if the car is eligible for BMW CPO program though as this would tell you a lot about what BMW thinks about the condition of the car.

IFX · 05-25-2012, 07:14 PM

43k max.

NomadM3 · 06-19-2012, 10:00 PM

Would it be asking too much if I request the dealer to change all the fluids (transmission rear diff brake etc) prior to purchase.

Go ahead and ask. The worst thing they can say is no.

besiktas · 06-20-2012, 09:04 AM

remember, it has 8500 miles till the end of its warranty. probably you will do that quicker than a year. 50k/4yrs which ever is sooner.

i have a 2010 E92 that i picked up on nov 09, ~30k miles. and i was out of country for about 5-6 months. so, its not that many miles. but i would get it checked out. just before hitting 30k my dashboard started lighting up.

krapnoj · 06-20-2012, 11:51 AM

Just for comparison, I found a 2010 E90 M3 a couple months ago with 14k miles for $49,900. Silverstone, no sunroof, tech pkg, premium pkg, extended silver norvillo leather. Bought it from Enthusiast Auto in OH and had her shipped out to the East Coast.

NomadM3 · 07-10-2012, 11:28 AM

Dealer said they will cover half of the cost to replace the fluids. 700 for the rear diff and tranny, 1100 for all fluids.....

I figure since the car has been sitting on the lot for a while it'll be worth it to change everything out

mdosu · 07-10-2012, 11:36 AM

that price is too high comparatively with the amount of miles. I would skip or try to bring the price down to the low 40s.
Aside from the updated Navigation, this car is no different than a recently out of warranty 2008 model and those are going in the high 30k range now. As others have said, your car is perilously close to warranty expiration.

positiveions · 07-11-2012, 08:08 AM

Doesn't hurt to aim high and shoot low~41k. Bon Chance.

Those guys jack up the prices like crazy! Have you seen how much they're asking for some of those cars?

NomadM3 · 07-11-2012, 02:36 PM

KBB and Edmunds true value both come out to around 43-45k. Highly doubt they will go down to 41k

dealer-only auction prices for comparables are likely clearing around less than $43k as IFX has stated...some may have cleared at $41. Throw in $500 - $1000 for profits, makes $42k - $43k reasonable. I would still skip and buy a 08 with same miles in the high $30ks
